Which nights should you book for Byers Peak Stampede Half Marathon & 5K Run?
Book the night before the race — 2026-08-21 — to be in Fraser the evening prior, as race morning starts before dawn. Also book the night after — 2026-08-22 — since road closures on race day and fatigue after running make travel home that same day impractical. If you are supporting a runner but not racing yourself, you may still benefit from staying both nights to avoid navigating closures and early-morning logistics.

Public transport options are not specified, and ride-share drop-off may be restricted near the start due to closures — plan to walk from your accommodation. Services thin out late — check the last departure before you go if relying on any scheduled transport.
